Every month, 430,000 British pensioners watch prices rise, while their pensions don’t. This growing injustice cannot stand. It’s time to #EndFrozenPensions

A British pension is a promise. Frozen overseas pensions are a broken promise. Keir Starmer it’s time for UK commitments to be kept. #EndFrozenPensions

Frozen pensions for overseas British pensioners are making affordability more and more of a nightmare. Rather than helping pensioners, Keir Starmer seems determined to make this problem worse. #EndFrozenPensions

Upholding the discriminatory frozen pensions policy means that Keir Starmer forgot about 113,000 grandparents, parents and loved ones who deserve better. Why does the UK government continue to choose neglect instead of respect? #EndFrozenPensions

Too many UK MP’s are acting like ostriches - hiding when faced with tough questions. MP’s need to pull their heads out of the sand and end the freezing of overseas pensions. #EndFrozenPensions

For just 0.04% of the pension budget, the UK government can end frozen pensions and finally start addressing the cost of living crisis. Torsten Bell For those earning £20 a week, change can’t come soon enough. #EndFrozenPensions

UK #Veterans served their country with honour - yet thousands who retire to allied nations like Canada have their pensions frozen. If the UK wants to rebuild its armed forces, they need to treat veterans with the dignity they deserve. #EndFrozenPensions

With Donald J. Trump, the UK needs strong allies like Canada. So why is the UK still freezing the pensions of more than 100,000 British state pensioners living in Canada? Keir Starmer you can’t build strong alliances at home by shortchanging your own pensioners abroad.

It’s great to see Canada leading on the global stage at the #G7 and #OECD. The question is, will ending frozen pensions for more than 100,000 British state pensioners in Canada be part of the conversation? The world may want more #Canada, but Canadians want a fairer place to

The UK government announced that winter fuel payments will go to millions more pensioners, costing The Labour Party £1.25 bn yearly. Ending frozen pensions for over 400,000 British pensioners worldwide would cost a mere £57 million. Rachel Reeves wouldn’t that be a good deal?

The government’s refusal to reform the frozen pensions policy reflects a cold calculation to save a small fraction of the pension budget, ignoring the moral and social consequences for pensioners who contributed to the UK system.

As boots hit the ground at the Calgary Stampede, people are honouring tradition. A pension should also honour tradition: You pay in, you get fairly paid out. It’s time for Keir Starmer and Torsten Bell to honour their side of the deal and #EndFrozenPensions

Frozen pensions often means a frozen life for seniors. Facing increasing costs of living, seniors with a frozen pension are being deprived of their golden years. As frozen pensioners cut back on the joys of life, how long until they can not afford food and shelter?

Britain must unfreeze frozen pensions before it can be considered “fair”. Continuing to freeze them is blatant theft of fully earned rights.
